mutsu
these are worth the wait!
a crunchy, tart, large juicy apple that turns sweeter the longer it ripens
on the tree. excellent for tarts and pies.
it is also known as a crispin. these will store til after christmas.
do you remember our dog mutsu? she lived to be 17!
ida red
my second favourite apple for baking pies and cakes…
so similar to a cortland with a hint of lemon.
these are the best apples for storing…
they will easily last until the spring in your fridge.

red delicious
as a kid i thought there were only 2 kinds apples…these and macs!
sweet and mild with the cute little bumps on the bottom.
fresh picked they are nothing like the store variety…you have to try them!
did you know the red delicious are one of the empire’s parents?
golden delicious
appropriately named! sweet and rich……excellent for everything…
sauce, pies, tarts, cakes, and of course fresh eating out of hand.
their thin skin melts into the apple sauce..no need to peel!
you cant go wrong with a bushel full of golden delicious.
ambrosia
from a chance seedling in british columbia, its parents are a mystery,
but thought to be jona gold and golden delicious.
they are sweet, crisp and juicy with creamy flesh.
their low acidity makes them slow to brown…great in salads!
excellent too for pies, tarts and baking.
famous flat breads and petal crackers?
one look at the flatbreads and you can tell my friend and owner jackie is an artist!
her seasonal flavour combinations are exquisite.
jackie has made a divine pear cranberry chutney that you will love ...
available this weekend.
